For a third year, Cartoon Network will join UNICEF (United Nations Children�s Fund) this fall as the official television network partner for the global organization�s renowned annual Trick-or-Treat for UNICEF fundraising campaign. Capitalizing on its valuable brand strength and animation resources, Cartoon Network will serve primarily as UNICEF�s ambassador to cable affiliates around the country, offering on-air and off-channel media support along with special tools designed to create customized UNICEF programs for Halloween celebrations in local markets. Participating cable operators will be able to select from a variety of materials to help encourage children and parents within any community to participate in this time-honored family tradition of giving.

�Cartoon Network is very honored to join UNICEF again this year in its mission to empower kids to help other kids around the world,� said Jim Samples, president of Cartoon Network International. �The characters from Codename: Kids Next Door are just some of the Cartoon Network stars who will encourage kids and their parents to join in the cause�and the fun�of making Halloween both enjoyable and worthwhile.�

�By providing operators a unique opportunity to participate at the local level, a record number of participants have signed up this year,� said Heather Baldino, vice president, network marketing and operations, Turner Network Sales (TNS). �It's proof that, together, programmers and operators can produce meaningful benefits for children in need overseas.�

Detailed components of Cartoon Network�s outreach as the Official Television Network for Trick-or-Treat for UNICEF include:
